Mount Pinacle ( French: Le Pinacle) is a mountain located in Coaticook, Quebec Canada. The mountain has five hiking trails of varying difficulty, covering approximately 7 kilometres (4.3 mi), that visitors can explore with the purchase of an admission ticket. [4] Experienced rock climbers may scale the face of the hill starting from Lake Lyster. The mountain is exploited for its abundance of maples, with a sugar bush running along a portion of its trails.
The hill has been officially known as Le Pinacle since 1978. [3]
In 2013, part of the hill was closed to rock climbing due to the nesting of peregrine falcons on Mount Pinacle. [5]: 35
In June 2014, a 10-year-old child on a field trip went to the emergency department after surviving a 10-metre fall down a crevice on the mountain. Approximately a dozen firefighters were onsite for two hours rescuing the child, although he was not gravely injured. [6] [7]
